@Tatiana I don't understand how you have such bad luck! I have only ever been denied
from Edelweiss. I have requesting next to thirty books, returned reviews on two and been denied one and I still just got approved of
! Hope you have more luck in the future.

@Rachel, I don't know either... I get far more rejections than approvals on Edelweiss... In the last two months, out of 11 requests I only got 1 approval! I must be doing something wrong.

from Edelweiss. I have requesting next to thirty books, returned reviews on two an..."I wonder if it's because you're based in Australia and they don't have many Australian reviewers. I've heard that they like to give books to people who they deem have different audiences.
That makes sense Sarah. I wish I could take advantage of that, but I seriously doubt I'd get more approvals if I changed my profile to Brazil...
Haha that will remain secret but it's nobody huge
Either way, it's still very nice when you get an auto approval! I still remember how much I wanted to scream when I got my first one LOL
Another thing that you can do on edelweiss is submit reviews for books that you were not approved for. I don't know if this would help, but perhaps submit some reviews for books you've read for publishers you are having trouble getting approved for.
What do you mean? Reviewing some 'Read now' books?
I can't wait until I get my first auto approval. I notice if I request books from this one publisher I get approved 9 times 10
Mod
No, she means that if you read a book that you own, you can submit your review to the publisher via edelweiss as long as the title is listed on there ☺
Tati wrote: "What do you mean? Reviewing some 'Read now' books?"You can go into any book on edelweiss and review it. Look at any book and see where it says "your review". You can add your review even for books where you were declined.
@Tatiana You rppor thing! I hope you have more luck soon.@Sarah Maybe that's why!? I think it be the only time not coming from the US or the UK is an actual advantaged then! :)
Here I go again on Edelweiss... Why do I do this to myself? LOL
Mod
Edelweiss to me is super confusing to use.
It's very unfriendly, in using and in getting approvals LOL
Yeah I heard about that.
Mod
Yeah... HarperCollins, my very own heartbreaker LOL
Mod
I got the In Between book as well as Beneath Beautiful :-) Will be reading those this month! :-)
Lucky you guys I have to wait so long.

Can someone help me find my kindle email so I can get books from Netgalley and Edelweiss on my new kindle?
Once Upon A Time wrote: "Can someone help me find my kindle email so I can get books from Netgalley and Edelweiss on my new kindle?"At the top right hand corner, it says "your account" scroll over that, and click on "Manage your content and devices"
When you're on that page, it should say "Your content" "Your devices" and "Settings" at the top. Click Settings.
Scroll down until you see "send to kindle email settings" It should tell you there.
After you've got your kindle email, you need to add netgalley/edelweiss's addresses to your approved list so the books go through to your kindle. The bit where you add them is right underneath that.
Will I see it if I don't have my Kindle yet but a kindle app?
Once Upon A Time wrote: "Will I see it if I don't have my Kindle yet but a kindle app?"If you've ordered your kindle from your account, it will show. I don't know if they give you one for a kindle app though.
oh well I don't get my Kindle until Monday from Kmart.
Okay now I don't see the books that I sent to my kindle what do I do now?
Did you authorize the email accounts from the senders?
Do the books show as pending deliveries on Amazon? I'd try sending them again
Or just turn your kindle off and back on again. They don't appear straight away if you are already "logged in" (if its on and using it) - well, not for me anyway.

Does Kmart sell kindle readers?
Does Kmart sell kindle readers?
You don't need a kindle reader to read the books. YOu just need any device, apple or android. and get the kindle app. Unless you have a kindle device already, you shouldn't need to have a kindle just for these books.When it "sends" to your device, it should pop up in your library as soon as the device is connected to the internet. FYI, each device has a different kindle email which ends with "@kindle.com", its not the email you use to log-in to amazon.com
